Yes, with an exception. The on/off switch on the router must be in the "off" position in order to raise the collet above the table and engage the collet lock for bit changes. This is a safety feature built into the Triton router which eliminates to possibility of accidentally starting the motor while to collet lock is engaged. It also acts as a plunge stop so the router cannot over plunge while the router is running. Ultimately bit changes require you to reach below the table and switch the router itself off. Once the bit change is complete the collet can be lowered to disengage the collet lock and the router itself switched back on and controlled by the external switch.
